<pre class="docs-method-signature"><code>paper.freeze()</code></pre>
<p>Freeze an <a href="#dia.Paper.prototype.options.async"><code>async</code></a> paper. In this state, the paper does not automatically re-render upon changes in the graph. This is useful when adding large numbers of cells.</p>

<p>Use <a href="#dia.Paper.prototype.unfreeze"><code>paper.unfreeze()</code></a> to take the paper back out of the frozen state and to reflect the changes made in the graph in the meantime (if any).</p>
